Compared with the alternatives
Every one of these pages names a case where the other option is the better choice, because for some readers it is. If you already have something that works, we would rather tell you to keep it than sell you a second app.
Freeish vs Google Calendar
The default calendar for most of the world, free, part of a Google account. It creates and organises appointments, and it is extremely good at it.

The calendar built into iPhone and Mac, synced through iCloud, free with the device.
Read the comparison →Freeish vs TimeTree

Read the comparison →Freeish vs Cozi
A family organiser: shared calendar, shopping lists, meal planning and to-dos, colour-coded per family member.
Read the comparison →Freeish vs When I Work
Employee scheduling software. Managers build rotas, publish them to staff, handle swaps and track time. It is bought by businesses, not by employees.
Read the comparison →Freeish vs Crew
A workplace communication app for shift-based teams: group messaging, shift coverage requests and schedule distribution, adopted by the employer.

The default: a WhatsApp, iMessage or Messenger group where you send a photo of the schedule when it comes out.
Read the comparison →Freeish vs a paper calendar
A wall or fridge calendar the household writes on. Still, by some distance, the most widely used family scheduling system in the world.
Read the comparison →Freeish vs a shared spreadsheet
A Google Sheet or Excel file the family shares, with a tab per person or a grid per month. Common in organised households and among carers sharing cover.
Read the comparison →Freeish vs shift calendar apps
A category rather than one product: apps built to model shift patterns, track hours and calculate pay for the person working them.
Read the comparison →Free… ish. Ready when you are.
